NARS Walk on the Wild Side ($39), a limited-edition set that features a silver illuminator, an ultra-violet polish, and an exclusive Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Orgasm. It was introduced with the Andy Warhol Collection.

Think vivid bright flowers and the high-impact contrast of the silver factory walls- a peek into Andy Warhol’s artistic world. Inspired by this explosive scene, NARS delivered this Sephora-exclusive set that includes gorgeous colors for the complexion, lips, and nails.

The set charmed me with the Silver Factor Illuminator, perfect for winter. The three items included are shown in the photo above.

0.25 oz Nail Polish in It (ultra-violet)

0.11 oz Larger Than Life Lip Gloss in Orgasm (peachy pink with shimmer)

0.57 oz Illuminator in Silver Factory (silver)

I have one set to give away. How can you enter to win this giveaway contest (technically a sweepstakes)? Just leave a comment on this feature (not in another BTiB post). After you comment here, feel free to send me an e-mail at bestthingsinbeautycontests@gmail.com (the contest address, not my "personal" e-mail) and identify your comment. You can never be too careful about sharing an e-mail address you care about on a blog, so feel free to follow this step (an alternative is to code your e-mail, e.g., myname at gmail dot com, in your comment). Please make sure I have your e-mail. If I can't notify you, you can't win - even if your number is drawn. I can't believe the number of winners I haven't been able to find in the past.

You can earn extra entries. Follow this blog (through an e-mail subscription, GFC, or though one of the many Google readers - see sidebar at right) to earn a second entry. If you are a follower, it would help me tally entries if you tell me in your comment how you follow. You don't have to follow to enter. I want everyone to have a chance, but I also want to reward my followers. I must be able to track this entry.

You can earn a third entry by tweeting this contest. You must include "@BTiBeauty" (without the quotes) and the contest title in your tweet. Remember, tweet the contest title - if you don't, that entry won't count. I will tweet the contest early this evening, and you can simply retweet it to earn that second entry - if that's easier.

Readers who have left a non-contest comment during the last two weeks will receive an additional, fourth entry. You don't have to do anything. I remember you.

The deadline for entries will be Saturday, February 2, 2013, at midnight. The next morning, I will use a random number generator (random.org) to select the winner. I will e-mail the winner on Sunday morning. The winner will have 48 hours to reply to my message and provide a shipping address. After 48 hours, the prize will be forfeited, and another winner will be selected. Make sure to check your e-mail - and look in your spam folder - when the contest ends.

This contest is open to anyone anywhere. Here are the terms. I will carefully pack and ship the prize (as I always do). I cannot insure the prize for overseas shipment - it's amazingly expensive to do so because of the way I have to send insured mail. If it's lost or stolen in transit, I may not be able to replace it with another prize just like it. I'll do my best on this end; let's see if your mail service does right by you on the other end if we have an overseas winner.

The winner must be able to provide me with a "mailable address," meaning the U.S. Post Office recognizes it or its street, province, and other "elements" the way the winner provides them. I've had some trouble with both U.S. and international addresses lately.

For all the legalese related to this contest, please see the Contests/Sweepstakes page at the top of the blog. Good luck!

It's fantastic that you open this giveaway to everyone; very generous.I'd soooo love to win this giveaway because I've had my eyes on the illuminator ever since I heard of it, but this set wasn't sold in my country. I don't even know why. :(

I never thanked you for turning me on to Claudio Riaz products. GORGEOUS! But, I digress. I love Andy Warhol, too... still looking for my 15 minutes of fame :)I'd like to enter this giveaway. onegreat smile athot maildotcom.
